SUMMARY:The Two-Body Problem: Dual Career Couples in Science\, Women o
 f Wisconsin Strengthening Astronomy and Physics Colloquium\, Marc Sher
 \, Department of Physics\, The College of William and Mary
DESCRIPTION:A decade ago\, Laurie McNeil (now Chair of Physics at UNC)
  and I conducted a survey concerning dual career couples in physics. T
 he response was overwhelming\, and an extensive report was written (wh
 ich has now been downloaded 40\,000 times\, and has had a significant 
 impact on policy within federal agencies). The survey results will be 
 discussed in detail\, including the extent of the problem\, a number o
 f &amp\;quot\;horror stories&amp\;quot\;\, and various suggested solut
 ions (and\, yes\, some success stories). Recent developments in academ
 ia will also be discussed\, as the institutional responses to the &amp
 \;quot\;two-body problem&amp\;quot\; have changed substantially in rec
 ent years.&lt\;br&gt\;<br><br>
